Blossom Drop

16 years ago

I am growing Box Car Willie and Cherokee Purple in SWC this year. My first set of flowers have all but dropped. What could be the possible cause? I live in SE Florida. Temps are not an issue yet. Humidity is 50-70%, temps 60-80F during the night and days.

I followed the recommendations of raybo's design and used a balanced fertilizer, 1 cup mixed in with the mix and a strip on the sides. Would a balanced fertilizer be the source of too much nitrogen?

I also went through about 4 days of heavy rain and wind of 20 mph during the first set of flowers. Could this be the cause?

I have grown in SWC for years and this is the first case of Blossom Drop I have gone through. This is however the first time I put a 'strip' of fertilizer into the SWC and am worried they have too much too soon. Any insight woud be appriciated.

Thank you
